Article Synopsis
- * A new tool called the Career Authenticity Scale (CAS) was created and tested with university students, demonstrating its effectiveness in measuring career authenticity through various statistical analyses.
- * The study found that higher career authenticity is associated with better vocational outcomes and proactive career behaviors, confirming that the CAS is a reliable and valid instrument for understanding career development.
Introduction: Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is commonly performed in children. We aim to develop simple formulas to predict CVC intravascular length to minimise radiation exposure associated with the procedure.
Methods: 124 paediatric patients who received tunnelled neck CVCs and subsequent CT thorax at Hong Kong Children's Hospital from January 2020 to July 2022 were reviewed retrospectively.
Introduction: Somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) and urodynamic studies (UD) are valuable tools for assessing patients with closed spinal dysraphism (CSD) before neurosurgical intervention. No studies have correlated their findings in this cohort and our aim is to study their correlation and prognostic value in pediatric patients with closed spinal dysraphism.
Methods: Retrospective review of all patients referred to a multidisciplinary clinic in a tertiary pediatric surgical center over a 17 years period between April 2004 to September 2021 was performed.
Purpose: Varicocele is a common condition in adolescence and the most common correctable cause of infertility. This study aimed to analyze and compare the outcomes of scrotal antegrade sclerotherapy and laparoscopic Palomo surgery in a tertiary referral center.
Materials And Methods: Patients with left grade 3 varicocele indicated for surgery were prospectively enrolled and randomly allocated to the scrotal antegrade sclerotherapy and laparoscopic Palomo surgery groups, with their respective contralateral normal testes taken as controls.
Objective: Injection of methylene blue to testis has been shown to have adverse effect in animal studies but it is still being used frequently as lymphatic mapping agent during lymphatic sparing varicocelectomy in adolescent varicoceles. We aim to report postoperative ultrasound changes after subaortic injection of methylene blue in human testes.
Study Design: A retrospective observational study of consecutive patients under 18 years old undergoing laparoscopic varicocelectomy from August 2017 to August 2021 was performed.
